This is my favorite image from the Johnson’s exhibition at Chelsea Space curated by Mr G.

I like the idea that the clothes at Johnson’s had a strong costume element to them, that Lloyd was interested in revisiting the youth cults of the post-war period - mods, rockers, beatniks - and making their looks contemporary. Unlike Ralph Lauren, another retailer with a line in myth-making, It’s all very exuberant and tongue-in-cheek. It’s the perfect 80s pop scenario - a one-stop-shop for the one-hit-wonder requiring some enduring youth cult appeal and stage worthy flash.

I love this staff member with her big sleeve roll-up, quiff and bola tie. I’m off to go learn me a buckaroo knot.

I tried to photograph the fabric that Tommy has given to Mr G to sell through The Look . It’s hard to capture the exact colours of fabric screen printed 30 years ago - they’re so rich and pleasing to the eye because they don’t look like the colours of today.

I’m really taken with the fabric - the crepe is ever-so-slightly stiff where it’s printed, the detail (particularly the boots) is wonderful and overall the piece could be a flag for the early-Seventies, pop-infatuated store.

I hope it finds a loving home.

This Pendleton poncho has been in my favorites for weeks now. I just can’t believe it hasn’t sold.

To be worn to Waitrose with a brown turtleneck, some orange tab Levis flares and a clog heel…

Such a fun night at Nick’s Doghouse show at Tatty Devine’s Brick Lane shop. I stood beside Rita on the wall and looked proud, there were dogs and kids dressed as dogs and some lovely people. I can’t wait for the full film at the Horse Hospital this week.

We popped next door to a really charming exhibition in the Bernstock Spiers store, where Hormazd Narielwalla was showing a series of illustrations based on Paul and Selma’s hat patterns.

Playful and exquisitely realised, with more than a touch of the Raj - do go see more of his work!

The weather is closing in in London, I’m sorry to say. Perhaps we have one or two hotties left but my toes were decidedly chilly tonight coming home. Now that the Elaine look is well and truly ‘out there‘ I’m searching out a new winter vibe.

I know Mr G won’t appreciate the silhouette particularly but I’m feeling a little Betty Goodwin is a frontrunner…

Kids are great. I have twelve nephews and nieces! I babysat my entire teenage life. Such fun!! Lots of music and choreography and dancing and dressing up. Sometimes I think GEEZ I wouldn’t mind one of my own to dress up if it meant some vintage Osh Kosh B’Gosh:

Lucky for me I have my very own adult size pair of OSH KOSH (ticking!!!!!!) winging its way to me by Royal Mail RIGHT NOW!!
